We've been in the rain We've been on the mountains We've been round the fire And fancy hotels Drank water from the well (2x) Uh I'm stepping in this game and paying dues Building a reputation now we making major moves And now it's moving, how it's moving anyway I choose And I've been working way to hard to just not make it through You talk about me, prepare for what I say to you Cause I'm a man and I will stand by what I say and do There's a lot of ups and downs within this game of life For every hater there's a girl that wants to stay the night And now I got myself a taste of the fame, I'm addicted I've got nothing else to chase I kill it on the stage but still I miss the days Of chilling in the crowd like a normal kid my age But still I got this paper and still I got my pencil And the craziest part is I haven't hit my potential The life I live is stressful, everyday suspenseful Grinding every minute of my life to be successful We've been in the rain We've been on the mountains We've been round the fire And fancy hotels Drank water from the well Uh I'm trying to make it with my sanity Moving from the underground roots up to the canopy Do it how I do it I just hope they understanding me Trying to make it right with every member of my family I know I was the mess up but now Chris stepped up And took hold of what I always wanted from the setup Now when people mention me they saying I'm the next up It's been a long time since that A.D.D. checkup The underclassman's graduated, top of the class Now when I walk around town people nod when they pass I'm just a kid who messed his life up and put it back together A kid who hit the bottom and came back stronger than ever I've been jerked around, stolen from, told I would fail But now the numbers going up on every check in the mail And if they not feeling it, ill spit it in brail Hating on me gets you know where keep on chasing your tail We've been in the rain We've been on the mountains We've been round the fire And fancy hotels Drank water from the well (2x) You think the life I live is wonderful Let me give you the flipside Try to go with the flow and get caught up in the riptide Everyday it's studio or driving to a show And no I'm not complaining I'm just letting people know There's a lot of hard work that goes right into the grind Especially without being signed and working overtime Now every time I meet a girl there is a difference Cause all they want is Webby without even meeting Christian They just want to fuck, maybe roll an I And go back in the morning with a story to tell And though it sounds great, the side of it you don't see Is that the end of the day you're still lonely. The fans show me love and I love my ninjas back They hold me down and I'm forever thankful of that And I wont let you down you have my word on that Cause I'm here for good the best of the burbs is back We've been in the rain We've been on the mountains We've been round the fire And fancy hotels Drank water from the well (2x)
